Three kids, a fat baby, and a dog. That's what her mother left her. Kaliya Jefferson's mother has passed, and it seems her whole world has turned upside down. One day she's a free single, childless woman with a great career, and life is just perfect. The next day she's a struggling single guardian for four children that her mother left her. Kaliya never liked kids, never wanted kids, but here she is. She was bitter before but now she's filled with rage because this seems so unfair. Little did she know that the children will change her life in way she never imagined, not to mention the constant companionship between the kids and her mother's next door neighbor Christina. Christina loves hard, and Kaliya is hard to love.
What happens when metals grinds against metal? Sparks fly. And sparks will fly between the two. But will it be fireworks or fireballs?
She's not the woman she thought she was - not the calm, controlled one. Torn between the weight of her mistakes and the pain of what's been taken from her, she's spiraling through anger, heartbreak, and a desperate need to be seen.
This isn't about perfect love or clean endings. It's about the messy, real battle inside a woman who's learning to face her darkest truths... and maybe, just maybe, find a way back to herself.
No apologies. No filter. Just Angela.
